Torquay United v Hungerford Town, 22nd April

Yes an early goal would have made all the difference.. but I think the players are mentally and physically exhausted.. it’s a good job we had already won the league because given the size of the squad and number of minutes most have played I think we would have struggled in the playoffs..GJ. Will ne...

Torquay United v Bromley 20/1/18

I said last week it was the hope that kills , well after today all hope was killed ! Let's be honest Individually the players aren't that bad , they are all probably conference standard.. So why are we where we are in the league...They are not a team , no leadership either on or off the pitch, no pa...

Torquay v Eastleigh 13/01/2018 (PP)

It's the hope that kills isn't it , for periods of the game we were popping the ball around on the floor , 1 and 2 touch football, and we looked good , But , it's the lack of a focal point , not necessarily a big target man , but a forward who knows where and more importantly when to make the runs ....

Management options

There was a radio Devon interview with Harrop about 3 weeks ago , where they described him as DOF , I put it down to normal BBC ineptitude .... Doesn't seem the case at all now ,

Forest Green v Torquay new years day 2017

Not a lot I can add to the comments already about the game , I thought we didn't play the wind well in the later stages , too many long balls sailing straight thru to the keeper or going out of play, but a minor criticism . FGR very friendly club , obviously a lot of money being spent on them but a ...

Torquay United v Tranmere Rovers

Well if ever a team was created in the Managers image that was Tranmere today , moaning, gamesmanship or very "professional " you can call it .
Can't believe that Angus wasn't booked , on a another day he would have been when their player throw himself to the floor after Angus pushed him .

another couple of points This consortium were ready to go in March but had been turned down That as we all probably guessed that the club wasn't "debt free", far from it , and that the due diligence had said "not to invest" ! I got the impression that they were all pretty shocked...

Judging by tonight's fans forum , it's going to be an experienced goalkeeper a thirty something that will also double up as GK coach
